Am I the only one who...

...finds that fruit wakes you up and does wonders to lift your mood?

I had 4 Kiwi fruits and 2 plums for breakfast this morning and my mood lifted almost straight away, I felt more awake and 'with it' and motivated and still do, 4 hours later!

I'm guessing it's because of all the goodies and vitamins rapidly spreading throughout my body 'cos when I haven't had any fruit for a while, my mood is through the floor, but I've had plenty of fruit available this week, thanks to my OddBox, and my depression has been noticeably lighter and I've felt more awake and motivated within minutes too!

I love eating fruit as well and find it does help with my mood.  When the weather is warmer I like making my own smoothies as I know what is in it (no added sugar) and like trying different flavours of the fruit.  Actually I also have more of a vegetarian diet as well - haven't completely given up meat or fish - as that helps my mood as well.

Glad it's not just me then lol

I've been vegetarian for over 35 years and semi-vegan for medical reasons since 1999 but my fruit and veg consumption has been awful for years.  Having the OddBox has meant that I can just grab a piece of fruit and eat it without having to go through the whole checkout process each time I've got a fancy for fruit.
